　　Hua Chunying confronts BBC producers: ‘BBC needs to take action to overcome credibility crisis’

　　On March 31, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying presided over a regular press conference. When talking about Xinjiang issues at the press conference, Hua Chunying played a video. In the video, Barrie, (@ChinaBazzar) a writer and video producer living in China and a former British media person, revealed on social media the source of fake news information concocted by Western media about Xinjiang. Barrie said that the main source is Adrian Zenz, a far-right, fascist with Nazi affiliations, an anti-Semitic anti-China religious zealot who has been repeatedly exposed for creating ‘fake news’ and proven falsification of data. “At first, Adrian Zenz refused the “invitation” of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), but after receiving a commission, he began to search for “evidence” to slander China.” 
However, the content of this video brought a complaint from Adrian Zenz’ ‘handler’ – a BBC producer.

　　”I don’t know this person (Barrie) in the video. I have never met him, said nothing, and did not exchange emails. Why does he have evidence of our interaction with Adrian Zenz?” The BBC producer asked questions on the spot.

Here is the question, (the exact words) of the Scottish ‘BBC producer of all the BBC ‘reports which featured Adrian Zenz’:

“I want to ask about the video you showed us earlier – I was the producer who worked on all our reports on Xinjiang which featured Adrian Zenz, I’ve never met the man who is in that video, I’ve never spoken to him, I’ve never exchanged an email with him, so I don’t understand why it is that he’s supposed to have some expertise or insight into our ‘supposed relationship’ with Adrian Zenz. If you would like to know the details of how we worked with agencies why don’t you ask us and indeed any media outlet who wants to know about that is very welcome to put a question to us about it, secondly, I’d like to correct what you said about regulation of the BBC, the BBC is regulated we have to abide by OFCOM regulations……

(Hua ChunYing Corrected this ‘producer’ – BBC world news is NOT regulated by OFCOM or anyone else!)

— BBC ‘producer’ (Carrie Gracie?)

They never stop with the spin – “I don’t understand why it is that he’s supposed to have some expertise or insight into our ‘supposed relationship’ with Adrian Zenz” – Kathy Long take note – it doesn’t take a genius to be an ‘expert’ on the BBC’s ‘supposed relationship’ with Adrian Zenz – He explained it and you explained it – The BBC pays him to ‘find things’. Further, noting the ‘BBC ‘producer’ Kathy Long’s pathetic attempt to add a ‘barb’ to the end of her pointless little complaint.. @MFA_China said: –
‘BBC is not trusted even in the UK’

　　Hua Chunying responded, “First of all, I don’t know this person (Barrie) either. I saw it on the Internet, but I found it very interesting. Second, you say that you are a producer of the BBC, and you don’t know him. I think it’s normal. You can see that (in the video) Zheng Guoen (Adrian Zenz) himself tweeted that the BBC asked him for evidence (evidence). He found it difficult. Because there was too little, the BBC agreed to give him a commission. (Commission), he went to find more “evidence”. But (asking (Adrian Zenz) for evidence) I don’t know if the BBC (staff) is you or your colleague. This may require you to conduct further investigations within the BBC to find out where the evidence of Adrian Zenz came from.
I think if it is possible to do so, it will be good for your BBC to restore its credibility. ”

　　Regarding the BBC’s false reports on China, Hua Chunying responded that in January of this year, the BBC broadcast of “Return to Wuhan” used a scene saying that Chinese people used head coverings to arrest people, but they were actually Chinese policemen. A shot of anti-terrorism training. The BBC has a British “Royal Charter”. The British Communications Authority (Ofcom) can supervise many departments of the BBC, but it can only supervise the BBC’s national channels. In other words, BBC International, which is responsible for disseminating British values ​​to the outside world, got the “Sword of Fang Fang” to do whatever it wanted.

　　These remarks also made the above-mentioned BBC producers “unhappy”. In her question, she said that the BBC is also regulated by the British Communications Authority (Ofcom).

　　“Ofcom can supervise many departments of the BBC. Tell me, does Ofcom have the right to supervise the BBC international channels? We have seen reports that if the BBC domestic channels broadcast fake news, they must be supervised by Ofcom. , Will be punished. (Although they do, and they aren’t! –Barrie) However, the international channel is not subject to any supervision. It has a “shangfang sword”, which can arbitrarily concoct false information without being subject to any legal supervision and sanctions. This is what I can see from reports and public materials. Yes, if the BBC International Channel is also regulated by Ofcom, you are welcome to tell us more details.” Hua Chunying responded.

　　Hua Chunying further said that the BBC’s fraudulent behavior on international issues has reached a point where even BBC insiders can’t stand it. In February 2019, BBC Syrian News Producer Dalati posted a tweet on Twitter, revealing a long-hidden “secret” about the so-called chemical weapons attack on the Syrian city of Duma. The video is fake news. But after he revealed this fact, he was blocked. Not long ago, the British scholar David Sedgwick published a book called “Fake News Factory-A Story from the BBC”. He believed that now the BBC is actually a stubborn political campaign group. This change is obviously contrary to The royal charter requires it to be impartial and politically neutral, and this has also led to the spread of the “fake news virus” in the UK. The British “Daily Express” mentioned that a public opinion survey in the United Kingdom found that half of the people believed that the BBC was unfair in its news reporting.

　　Hua Chunying said that this is why we feel that the BBC is facing a credibility crisis. You need to take action and make efforts to change people’s impression of the BBC. This should be proved by more objective, fair and realistic news.

BBC制片人“不服气” 华春莹反将一军！

　　原标题：BBC制片人“不服气”，华春莹反将一军！

　　华春莹与BBC制片人交锋：BBC需采取行动克服信誉危机

　　3月31日，外交部发言人华春莹主持例行记者会。在记者会上谈及有关新疆问题时，华春莹播放了一段视频。视频中，居住在中国的视频博主、前英国媒体人Barrie在社交媒体上揭露了西方媒体炮制涉疆假新闻信息来源。Barrie说道，其中一个来源就是多次被曝出制造假新闻的反华人士郑国恩。起初郑国恩拒绝了英国广播公司（BBC）的“邀请”，却在得到一笔佣金后开始为其寻找“证据”来污蔑中国。然而这则视频内容却让在记者会现场的一位BBC制片人“不服气”。

　　“我不认识视频中的这个人，从没见过他，没说过话，也没有邮件往来，为什么他会有关于我们和郑国恩之间交往的证据？”这位BBC制片人在现场提问中质疑中方。

　　华春莹回应道，首先这个人我也不认识，我是在网络上看到的，但是我觉得非常有意思。第二，你说你是BBC的producer（制片人），你不认识他。我觉得也很正常，你可以看到，（视频中）是郑国恩自己发的推特说BBC问他要evidence（证据），他觉得这很难，因为太少了，所以BBC答应给了他commission（佣金），他又去找了更多的“证据”。但（问郑国恩要证据的）BBC（工作人员）是你还是你的同事我就不知道了。这可能需要你们BBC内部再做进一步调查，把这个事情弄清楚，到底郑国恩的证据是哪里来的，我觉得可能这样做的话，对于你们BBC挽回信誉也是有好处 的。

　　对于BBC的涉华虚假报道，华春莹回应道，今年1月份，BBC播出的《重返武汉》中用的镜头说是中国人用蒙头的手段来拘捕民众，但实际上是中国警察反恐训练的一个镜头。BBC有英国“皇家特许证”，英国通信管理局（Ofcom）可以监管BBC的许多部门，但唯独不可以监管BBC的国际频道。也就是说，负责对外传播英国价值观的BBC国际台拿到了为所欲为的“尚方宝剑”。

　　这番言论也让上述BBC的制片人“不爽”。她在提问时说，BBC也是受到英国通信管理局（Ofcom）监管的。

　　“Ofcom地区可以监管BBC的许多部门，你也可以跟大家讲讲，Ofcom有权利监管BBC国际频道吗？我们看到的报道是，BBC国内频道如果播出了假新闻，是要受到Ofcom的监管，会受到惩罚。可是国际频道不受任何的监管，它有‘尚方宝剑’，可以肆意炮制虚假信息而不受到任何法律方面的监管和制裁。这就是我从报道和公开的材料当中可以看到的，如果BBC国际频道也受到Ofcom的监管，欢迎你可以告诉我们更多的details（细节）。”华春莹回应道。

　　华春莹进一步说道，BBC在国际议题上的造假行为甚至到了BBC内部人都看不下去的地步。2019年2月，BBC叙利亚新闻报道制片人达拉提在推特上发表了一个推文，公开了一个被掩盖已久的“秘密”，那就是所谓关于叙利亚杜马市的那段化武袭击的视频是假新闻。可是他把这个事实揭露了以后，就被封掉了。不久前，英国学者大卫·塞奇威克出版了一本书，叫做《假新闻工厂——来自BBC的故事》，认为现在BBC实际上就是一个顽固的政治竞选团体，这种转变显然违背了皇家特许证中对它的要求——保持公正和政治中立，而这也导致“假新闻病毒”在英国蔓延。英国《每日快报》提到，对英国的民意调查发现，一半的人都认为BBC在新闻报道方面有失公允。

　　华春莹表示，这就是为什么我们觉得BBC面临着信誉危机，你们自己需要采取行动、做出努力来改变人们对BBC的这种印象，应该以更多客观、公正、符合实际情况的新闻来证明BBC值得信赖。点击进入专题：
